ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a view of creative therapy that extended over multiple sessions. It first presents the story of a family in one of the poorest towns in America, a place located in the Louisiana side of the Mississippi Delta. There, an African American grandma takes care of five children, of whom the oldest boy was in trouble for fighting at high school. They live in a shanty house that is old and quite falling apart, with barely any trace of paint and with rotting wood. The chapter presents an example of a three-act performance of creative therapy took place inside the walls of a state prison. In this case, one could see that there are ways to break out of any box, even one that has barbed wire fences and armed guards. The ways in which creative expression enters therapy will always be a mystery.
